If u can wait 6 years for upgrading ur camera i think u can also save money for a full frame body in the same time

But investing in a full-frame body (which on itself costs 3x as much as a new rebel WITH kitlens) would be silly without investing in glass (first?), also. That makes it quite a bit more pricy. It has to be a very big hobby for you to want to spend that much money. A rebel upgrade with 5 or 6 years in between remains very worthwhile if you're on a budget for whatever reason. Also, better to upgrade to a new rebel with good glass than to get a full-frame body without any glass.

Back to the topic of the thread, yes, I am sad that the T4i was not announced. Now I am looking at the T3i vs the D5100. Perhaps just mentioning a Nikon camera is what is getting me bad karma points. I'm sorry, I'm just shopping right now and it would be silly not to look at the competition.

If you in the unique position to choose your brand because you don't already have Canon gear lying around: Do yourself a favor and don't look at body features alone, but think about lenses in the mid- to long term. You'll have your favorite lenses much longer than the first body.

If you are into photography, you probably will invest in a couple of quality lenses sooner or later, so think about: What do/would you like to shoot? Do you want to migrate to Canon full frame or Nikon fx anytime? What Canon or Nikon lenses are available for this choice? Of course you always sell your gear if you got it wrong, but thinking ahead imho does save some trouble.
